AppSumo’s Holiday Gift Guide for Entrepreneurs
By ‘Tis the season… of having no idea what to get for the people in your life.
Hey, give us some slack. If “gift-giving” is a love language, it makes sense that some of us feel lost in translation.
Good news for you, we asked our team to recommend the best gifts for the entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners in your life. (For the record, this list is not sponsored.)
And as long as we’re here, don’t forget that Santa can also gift LIFETIME DEALS on powerful software in the AppSumo store.
Kitchen Gear & Delicacies
Cheers to new kitchen gadgets, snacks, and libations!
Bodum Travel Press | $19.99 | “French press is great, what is not great is waiting around until it’s ready to drink. Nobody got time for that. Stop standing around, just run out the door with some hot water in your Bodum Travel Press and plunge after a few minutes. Good to go.” – Jarrett
Instant Pot | $119 | “Love to cook but don’t have time for an elaborate meal M-F? Make delicious meals in no time.” – Ashley

Streaming
Is there anything more 2019 than streaming?
